Portsoy (Aberdeenshire) weather

Headline:

Dry, mild and bright on Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Dry through the evening and overnight. Mainly clear skies allowing for another chilly night in the northeast but cloudier and milder in the south and west. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Wednesday:

Staying mild and dry with some bright or sunny spells, particularly towards the east coast. Some cloud in the south at first. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Mild but windy conditions continue through the week. Most places stay dry with some brightness, but outbreaks of rain are possible over western parts on Friday.

This period is expected to see a transition, possibly lasting over several days, between the settled, dry, and often dull conditions expected over the next few days, to something more unsettled. Sunday itself is likely to be rather cloudy and cool, with outbreaks of rain in the west drifting slowly eastwards. The start of the following week will most likely see more settled conditions with light winds becoming re-established, with a chance of rain in both the far north and the far south, and a smaller chance that the rain could become more widespread. Later in the week, periods of much wetter and windier weather will most likely become more prevalent, from northwest to southeast, alternatively there is a very small chance of colder, drier, but perhaps wintry, easterly winds.

A dominant flow from the Atlantic looks likely through this period, resulting in an unsettled, milder and windier than average period. This is likely to result in areas of rain and periods of stronger winds affecting most if not all parts of the UK at times, though with the wettest and windiest weather probably occurring towards the north and west. However, the potential for brief colder spells with associated frost, ice and snow remains, following any deep lows crossing the region.
